We’re preparing to hit the road for provider forums

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are coming to you this fall. We’ve scheduled a series of forums focusing on our professional providers across the state. Billing and office managers and their staff are strongly encouraged to attend this event. The classes will cover such key topics as:

  • ICD-10 (professional)
  • Medicare Advantage
  • Provider Inquiry
  • BlueCard
  • EviCore healthcare (formerly CareCore/Med Solutions Inc.)
  • Transparency
  • Provider enrollment

Here’s a schedule of events:

  • Half-day classes start at 9 a.m. and end at noon, with registration at 8:30 a.m.
  • To accommodate driving schedules to the Upper Peninsula, classes will begin one hour later than usual. Registration for the Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie classes will be at 9:30 a.m., with the class starting at 10 a.m. (These times are for Upper Peninsula classes only.)
  • Continental breakfast will be served.

Note: The dates and locations of some of the events have changed since we communicated about them in the August Record. The venue has changed for the class in St. Joseph, and dates were changed for the Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie classes. See chart below for current venues and dates.
